History WMG / FiveNightsAtFreddys4

* Just like how Golden Bonnie's name ended up being Springtrap, Giygas Freddy's name is Nightmare.

* An old WMG was that there was a total of 11 murdered children (one murdered on the street outside the resteraunt, five more murdered at an unknown time later, and another five murdered during the events of FNaF 2, the last of which resulted in the resteraunt being shut down. However, the end of the third game implied that there were only five murdered children after all (or possibly six, depending on how you want to interpret The Marionette's 8-bit scenes from the second and third game), and they got their vengence on the Purple Man at some point when they forced him into Springtrap.
* But my new theory is that both of these theories are true. The five/six murdered children were as they appeared in the game, and they got their rest in the end.
* But there are more children, more victims of the Purple Man, who are still stuck in this world, still rendered insane by the tragedy that occured.

* Continuing from the above WMG, the last murdered children were never able to reach eternal peace, because they are trapped in Giygas Freddy's body, forever slaves to his will.

* Right when the clock hits 6:00 AM on Night 6, Giygas Freddy will teleport to your office and get you, treating you to a nice unique jumpscare and segue into the final scene of the game, which will give some big revelation, like that Giygas Freddy is the zombie of the Phone Guy or something.

* Scott voicing the Phone Guy is so convenient, that he has to put him in again. This time, the twist will be either:

* And the fact that he is not the killer be relevent to the plot somehow. He was an innocent victim of the insane spirits of the murdered children, and now he is cursed because of it or something.

* It'll turn out that there were multiple Purple Men, and Phone Guy was one of them. The guy who became Springtrap wasn't him. Or maybe it was.

He's stitched together from the remains of Springtrap, Freddy, and the Prize Corner Freddy plushies, with some scary teeth and screws added to make him scarier.

* ...is the [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls MultiFazBear.]]

But perhaps the Film in the story of FNAF4?? maybe? We dont have any evidence that its truely going to be a game and not a teaser for the movie besides the 4 and we know how Mr Cawthon is of course.

* Springtrap [[spoiler:survived the fire, was sold at the auction]] and made into Nightmare Freddy for whatever [[WhatAnIdiot poor]] reason the buyer had.

* And he or she is having nightmares about what happened to him/her. Of course someone with their frontal lobe missing may have messed up memory among other things, so the victim may as well change the layout every 'night' as well.

Instead, we'll get nights with different locations and different rules from throughout the history of the restaurant chain in order to tie off loose ends, with the new Freddy as part of a nightmarish framing story.

[[WMG: Someone's either going to try and bring back Fazbear's Fright, or this abomination purely nonexistent, or even just only slightly real.]]

Hey, he was in the background in FiveNightsAtFreddys3 after all and there's no real proof that he perished in the fire.

Yeah, Springtrap is shown to have survived the third game, but it seems with the story of the children's spirits wrapped up, there can't be much else to do. Perhaps the newest night guard will be one who was present while the pizzeria was under renovation.

This game will explain one of the largest unanswered questions in the franchise so far: Golden Freddy and all of his business. Nightmare Freddy is his true form, or a later form of some sort.

The third game took place in a horror attraction, and an upcoming film is coming out, and Freddy looks absolutely DEMONIC. It'd be an interesting idea for it taking place on a film set and give a good reason this animatronic got such a terrifying look.

If Freddy is going to undergo a monstrous makeover, his theme song should definitely follow suit. It would also be a nice CallBack to the original game.

Most of the previous games only took a few months to finish, while this one is apparently going to be released much later. This is because Scott is working on a new engine to make a completely different kind of game, whereas the previous entries were all based on the same engine, and therefore didn't need as much time.

Those little Freddys crawling out of it? Those are its babies. The reason why nobody has been able to get rid of Freddy's for all this time is because Nightmare Freddy has been giving birth to more animatronics, and until she's destroyed, the world will continue to be plagued by them.

Springtrap's out and about. Fazbear Frights has burned done. We have Giygas Freddy coming, for whatever reason. Seeing how Scott's used non-linear storytelling before, it's possible that whatever happens, the next game takes place right after the fire, but either through between-night cut scenes, mini games, or clues hidden around the new location (like the changing posters in the first game), we will get the story of what originally happened at Fredbear's Family Diner, we will get more details on the Bite of '87 (like whodunnit for certain), we ''might'' learn more about the fates of Jeremy, Fritz, Mike, and the Fazbear Fright guard (or even in some way see them again), we'll have more definitive answers about Phone Guy, and we will probably learn more about the series' more core characters, like the Puppet, (Golden) Freddy, Fredbear (if they aren't one in the same), Springtrap, and the original Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy.

Giygas Freddy is also unlikely to be the only one coming back, so to speak. Whatever was left in that box (and not burned down), as well as around the other locations, may be coming back together to create bigger, badder monster versions of each animatronic. It could be ''because'' Springtrap is back: they've reformed to take him down once and for all. And they're going to use whatever they have available.

** Adding to this, this troper (not the OP) posted the theory on 3's WMG page where Bonnie's appearances in the original three games' trailers hinted to him knowing more than what was let on, as well as tying his purple color to other events in the game (and that his Toy version was the only one with a drstic change, likely to keep him unique). Since it's the final game, this would be the best time for Scott to FINALLY cash in on all that teasing/foreshadowing.

While we got that teaser image for the third game, not much was really done with it. All that happened with the toy box was it was eye-candy in the office and the toy models were stars of the mini-games, but Giygas Freddy looks like he's built from other parts and pieces of dolls. That teaser wasn't really for the third game. It was for this one, and as they say, [[Film/ToyStory the toys are back in town]]!

* To make up for his DemotedToExtra status in the last installment.

** Even better: what if it's Mike or Jeremy, but the experience has scarred them psychologically and they're in an asylum? And these new 'five nights' are actually them reliving truly larger-than-life nightmares of their experiences as night watchmen, amplified a hundredfold by their own insanity?

Note the hidden word "NIGHTMARE" in the first teaser. It appears to imply that the new animatronic is not actually real, but merely another, far more deadly hallucination. It suddenly makes sense as to why the new animatronic looks so scary: it's only part of your terrified mind. The Fazbear management [[EvenEvilHasStandards would probably cross the line at making such an unsettling robot]].

They were created by Fazbear Entertainment, presumably to be sold in either the Prize Corner, or somewhere else. However, they later proved to be defective and dangerous, causing them to be canceled and locked away.
